When Hunt Burke heard his name on a Capital One Bank commercial on WMZQ radio Thursday morning, it caught his attention.

The commercial is for McLean-based Capital One’s rewards checking product, and it features “Mr. Burke” who works at “Old Dusty Bank.”

Hunt Burke is the CEO of Alexandria-based Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust Co., the oldest bank in Virginia, founded by his family in 1852. And if you’ve ever seen Burke, he sports a walrus mustache that was popular during the same era.

The commercial starts like this: “This week on breaking up with your bank, Susan says goodbye to an old flame, and finds her relationship with Capital One Bank a little bit more rewarding.”

Then a male voice chimes in.

“Welcome to Old Dusty Bank. How may I help you?”

“Mr. Burke, we need to talk,” Susan says. “It’s just not working out.”

“Huh? Is there someone else?” Mr. Burke asks.

“There is. Capital One Bank just introduced new rewards checking in the D.C. area, with rewards for everyday banking, like swiping my debit card,” Susan says.

When asked if Old Dusty Bank was meant to resemble Burke & Herbert, Capital One spokeswoman Tatiana Stead said: “No. ‘Mr. Burke’ is based on our creative director by that name who wrote the spot, and we used his name in the commercial.”

Whatever the case, it’s not too surprising that Capital One would take a swipe at Burke & Herbert, which has been among the most successful community banks in the nation over the past two years.

Burke & Herbert has grown its D.C. area deposits by $222 million over the past year, while Capital One’s local deposits declined $738 million.

Burke & Herbert also snagged nine former Chevy Chase Bank executives since Capital One acquired the institution in February of last year, including two of the top five Chevy Chase executives.

Capital One has actually seen a flood of former Chevy Chase Bank talent leave the bank since the acquisition. For an in-depth look at how that has played out, see the story in Friday’s print version of the Washington Business Journal.
